michele Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Help. Translate Babel is no good for what I need . Can anyone help.
ROON Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi Michele, I will ask around on another site I am on for health, if you can give me an indication of what you need. Is a letter you are trying to read, or one to write. I can speak a bit of pigeon French... from o' level days .... but I failed :'( if that is of any use. Love Joy
mark w Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi tI speak pretty good French and think the difficulty is doughnut...I do not think they eat them? I have a French (English speaking) friend who said " Whaaaat eeeeez downut" good luck.
michele Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks Joy , i need medical stuff for Fred translated not alot . mark sorry lost with that lot perhaps they only eat the jam instead :D
Clive Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 can you post the original French flower, Janet is fluent, especially when in a strop!
ROON Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi Michele, Have been phoning round but no-one fluent ... see Clive has come up with solution. If still having problems please let me know and I will carry on contacting people...... The problem is that it is school holidays and so the teachers not able to get immediate contact with their French counterparts. Joy x

As a long shot I wonder if the French Tourist Office in London could / would help you out - or suggest someone who can. :-|
michele Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Well twooksie has kindly offered to put some stuff together through a dictionary . Joy sorry didnt see your post but thanks for trying . there was a person on here who was French and they kindly translated alot of it for me . have also sent them an e mail in the hope they can and will help again . I reckons all in all I have it cracked NOT ... i bet you thats why they call it Babel fish it coes out in Babel . Sylvia & martin gave me Dystonia last week ... I think medical is bad because you cant afford to play arund with it . I hate to just turn up in a foreign place and take it for granted they speak my lingo I think thats the height of ignorance so I do try always to speka some french . Shame about the college. thanks Malc d

Way2Go Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Michele, if you need anything done in the future you might want to consider these people http://www.freetranslation.com/I use them a lot and consider them better than Babel. They have a free translation service but also a human service.Sorry if this is too late.W2G
